gotten up by Mrs. Ben Smith, ably as
sisted by Mrs. j. p. Thompson. The
dolls were all dressed by the ladies hav-
ing the several booths in charge, and
reflect highly on their tasteful
fancies. The attendance was very
good last night, and the financial
results We're highly satisfactory. This
was mainly due TO a scheme worked by
Miss Long, who acted as the efficient
and lyn-eyed doorkeeper. This lady
allowed all the handsome men in for
nothing, but the unfOrtunates who hap
pened TO be ugly had to pay coming in
and pay again to 90 out, and by this
plan harvest of dimes was coined by
this enterprising custodian of
the door. The ladies who had
this unique entertainment in
charge and greatly assisted in its sue
cess were Mesdames Josiah Thompson,

THE LIBERAL MINISTER'S.
They Held a Very Interesting Dis
cussiOn Yesterday Morning.

At the meeting of the liberal minis
tiers yesterday morning at Rev. II. NJ.
Simmons studio, Rev. w. S. Vail. of
st. Paul, presented an interesting paper
on Two Elements of the Speakers
Preparations" Il do not profess to
bring you any original theory" said the
speaker. The plan l lay down is
drawn from two sources, never before
used in combination. The first is that
public speaker must be an artist. having
a double personality, in order that he
may know how he looks and acts while
speaking from a stage. The second is
that each subject must have a proper
tone. By combining these two Is the
only way man can make good i'm
preston" The speaker related several
amusing anecdotes of noted men in Civ
ing illustrations. He thought that if
every minister owned photograph and
could hear his own sermon as he himself
delivered if. it would be good thing.
Rev. ). VI. CrOthers thought this would
be too much of retributiOn. Rev. DR..

Ship Poor People Here.

The custom of the authorities in other
cities of sending poor and injured peO-
pie TO Minneapolis for treatment, or to
be taken care of. is getting somewhat
monotonOus, says Superintendent of the
Poor Curtiss. There are enough needy
peOple in Minneapolis to keep the poor
department busy, and the city officials
are beginning to complain about out
siders being sent in here. Yesterday
morning John Patton. about eighteen
years old, who says he resides at
Luvcrne, To-, arrived in this city from
Milbank, Oak. His face was knocked
all out of shape by the kick of 4 horse.
The accident happened at Milbank, and

authorities there sent him TO this city.
